Hello, I'm Georgie from BBC Learning English, and in this video,

大家好，我是 BBC Learning English 的 Georgie，在這部影片中，

to 不定詞

I'll teach you how to talk about likely future situations and their possible consequences using something called the first conditional.

我將教大家如何使用第一類條件句來談論未來可能發生的情況及其可能的後果。

讓我們來聽聽一個非常常見的場景。

I asked Phil about his options for weekend plans and what they depend on.

我向菲爾詢問了他的週末計劃選擇，以及這些計劃取決於什麼。

All the plans I have depend on the weather because I need to do some work in my garden.

我的所有計劃都取決於天氣，因為我需要在花園裡做一些工作。

So if it rains, I'll probably just stay inside and watch a film.

所以，如果下雨，我可能會呆在屋裡看電影。

If it doesn't rain, I'll be out in the garden hammering bits of wood.

如果不下雨，我就在花園裡敲敲木頭。

So Phil's weekend plans depend on the weather.

所以，菲爾的週末計劃取決於天氣。

If it rains, he'll stay inside and watch a film.

如果下雨，他會呆在屋裡看電影。

If it doesn't rain, he'll do some work in the garden.

如果不下雨，他會在花園裡幹點活。

He's considering two likely future situations and talking about his options for both.

他正在考慮未來可能出現的兩種情況，並談論他在這兩種情況下的選擇。

Now most of us at BBC Learning English live in London, and in London, the underground trains and the overground trains are often delayed or cancelled, a very real situation.

現在，我們 BBC 學英文的大多數人都住在倫敦，而在倫敦，地鐵和地面列車經常延誤或停駛，這是一個非常現實的情況。

So I asked my colleagues, what will you do if your train home from the office is cancelled?

於是我問同事們，如果從辦公室回家的火車停駛了，你們會怎麼辦？

If all the tubes are cancelled, then I will cry and get three buses home.

如果所有的地鐵都停駛了，那我就哭著坐三趟公車回家。

If the train is cancelled this evening, I'll cry.

如果今晚的火車停駛了，我會哭的。

If the train is cancelled and I know before boarding the train,

如果火車停駛了，而且我在上車前就知道了，

then I'll probably just wander around London for a bit.

那麼我可能會在倫敦閒逛一會兒，

Or I might get the bus, if there is a bus that I can take to my house.

或者搭乘公車，如果有公車可以到我家的話。

Notice how George has quite a few conditions to his plans.

請注意，喬治的計劃有很多條件。

So if the train is cancelled and he knows before boarding the train,

如果火車停駛了，而他在上火車之前就知道了，

he will wander or walk around London for a bit.

他會在倫敦閒逛或散步一會兒，

Or he might get the bus, if there is a bus to his house.

或者坐公車，如果有公車到他家的話。

Now because we can use the first conditional to talk about the future,

現在，因為我們可以用第一類條件句來談論未來，

it's also useful for making predictions like this one.

所以它也適用於像這樣的預測。

If electric cars become cheaper, then more people will buy them.

如果電動汽車變得更便宜，就會有更多人購買。

Now pause the video and think about which structures are used to make a first conditional.

現在暫停影片，思考哪些結構用於構成第一類條件句。

The structure is the present simple in the if-clause and will plus a base verb in the main or result clause.

其結構是：if 子句用現在簡單式，主句或結果子句用 will 加原型動詞。

To recap, the first conditional is used for likely future situations and their possible consequences.

概括地說，第一類條件句用於未來可能發生的情況及其可能的後果。
